@Cody L. I can answer only for Israel as I am an Israeli that immigrated to the US about three years ago.
The reason Israeli's are interested in investing in the US is because there aren't any good investment opportunities in Israel. The stock market is slow and manipulated by big investment/insurance firms. Government has over-regulated the real estate market to de-motivate real estate investors in order to slow down the price increases. This means that buying the 1st property over X USD is taxed, second property is taxed by 8% and up from the first dollar. Closing costs are expensive. The annual returns for real estate in Israel is below 5%. You need at least 30% down for a mortgage and it's very difficult to find a property that costs less than $300,000.
